In the past few months, my 2023 AT exceeded my preset charge limit by about 6% on Level 1 and Level 2 chargers. Maybe it's the BMS recalculating the SOC, but that does seem like a lot.

I saw 43kw in Augusta, ME

On the off chance that you're serious, do you view hospitals as good examples of fair pricing and transparency?

Ditto for universities!

You're kidding, right? In case you're not: states like Florida and California have joint underwriting associations for homeowners insurance (hurricane and earthquake), since the for-profit insurers pulled out. The insurance premiums they charge are high, but not high enough. Those...

Context is important. First, property/casualty insurance companies are not extraordinarily profitable. These increases in profitability are coming after a few years of underwriting losses. Second, based on the industry's capitalization, $88 billion in earnings may not be that much. A recent...

Just checked, and mine are still lent out at 12%

Gotta say those snow tires look almost new. Someone is getting a deal. And may I also say they'd look even better on a certain set of powder-coated 19-inch wheels that I had my eyes on...

I have a 2023 MSLR and a 2023 AT. I get similar ranges.

OK, now that makes sense. Today I learned something new, thanks!

Good to know, thanks.

I reread this a couple of times, and I'm still not sure I get your meaning. The Rubicon was the river that Julius Caesar crossed when he attacked Rome. He was committed once he crossed it with his army, since that action itself was treasonous. So once he did that there was no turning back...

I had to re-enter my mobile key (iPhone 13) after the update. Now I have two Bluetooth connections: one that works with Apple CarPlay, and the other to open the car when I get near. It seems to work OK, but not as well as before the update. Any thoughts?

Beautiful car!

Wait, those aero covers in the photo were part of the deal?

OK, here's what we know so far: according to Tesla, you shouldn't powder-coat factory wheels. To your credit, you're rolling in style with some Vossen hybrid-forged 20's. But the powder-coated ones you use as spares and are selling are factory wheels? I must say I'm starting to get concerned...

Just remember that while the air resistance increases with the square of your speed, the power required (to overcome it) increases with the CUBE of speed. Yikes!

Unless there's an inversion, the temperature will fall at roughly 3° per 1,000 feet. So that will mitigate the decrease in air density. Still, your point that altitude matters is a good one. One of the nice things about electric motors is that output does not vary with air density, unlike ICEs.

Uh oh. I just read the following in the Tesla forum: I'll chime in with the counter to this recommendation to powder coat the wheels: do NOT powder coat the factory wheels. There are several reasons: it adds more weight than you realize (especially considering it's unsprung weight), it can add...

Unfortunately, I'm in Massachusetts. But let me say that those powder-coated wheels of yours look real nice!
